Figured with players all getting into town, entrance physicals on Thursday, and the official start of preseason Friday, figured it was time to start this thread.

We train in preseason for a few weeks, then off to Arizona for a few weeks, games against Vancouver and San Jose are currently scheduled (although the team hasn't confirmed them),back to KC for a week, then off to Orlando where we'll play in Houston, Montreal, and Vancouver.

You have to be kind of relieved that he isnt going to be on the DC roster. YOu wouldnt want to have a reason to cheer for him, right?

I'd survive, Thad and I discussed it on the podcast last week. I'd think of it as just cheering for my brother only if he actually made the bench. I probably would have bought a DC jersey just for nostalgia if he'd made the team.

Everything I have heard is that all of our guys came in extremely fit this season. Competition should be fierce at most positions....just hope it doesn't get anybody hurt. Can't wait for Zus, CJ, and Teal to get in there as well. With our depth, I would think we could do the double cup this season as long as we stay pretty healthy.

If someone directly mentioned this, I missed it, but I think it's interesting that Convey has already publicly stated he'd like to retire here and go out a Kansas City player. The dude's only 28 so that could easily be 5+ more years for us (14 more years if he's on the Preki plan), and for some reason I'm really buying into this proclamation that he's going to fit into our system a hell of a lot better than he ever fit into San Jose's.

I wasn't too excited about that pick-up when it happened but the more I hear about it the more I think we got one hell of a deal.

Bobby's a Euro 28. I'm not sure he has 5 years left between injuries and starting so young. He's already a 12 year pro. Sapong will be 35 when he's a 12 year pro.

Ugh, I just watched the highlights for the SJ game, that was a TERRIBLE clearance by our defense (Sinovic completely whiffed on the clearance then Espinosa couldn't settle it and the ball rolled right past him to SJ) that led to SJ's goal. That's gotta get worked out before March 10th.
